aight sorry i took so long to respond to some of these, for the sake of efficiency i’m gonna respond to these all at once:
1. unfortunately my current system involves cutting it down to the wire a lot— 5$ and up gets to see the page in whatever state it’s in at the time, which usually means Very Incomplete even just a day in advance. giving earlier previews would mean forcing myself to work on it even earlier, which i quite simply do not have the energy for.
2. art requests are 10$ and up and i’m not gonna lower it.
3. i’ve considered doing speedpaints, but mostly discarded it because i usually work in short bursts and the amount of effort it’d take to edit that together (not to mention remembering to record in the first place) isn’t worth it.
additionally, @hg-anna gave a bunch of suggestions, most notably the idea of giving 1$ patrons a cropped version of the page (in whatever state it may be in) while 5$ patrons get the full page as they do now. this seems like the most feasible option, since i think the heart of the issue is that five dollars isn’t worth enough for me to alter my workflow significantly, and this would just mean taking an extra couple minutes to crop the page.
with that in mind, does anyone have any further thoughts on the matter?
